3 . 3 . 1 . Anchoring
Anchoring your boat while away from the dock is possible by
using the anchor, anchor line, and cleat, provided for this
purpose. The standard boat has an anchor locker accessed via
a hawse pipe located in the foredeck, just aft of the bow pulpit.
This locker is large enough to store all of the anchor line. The
hawse pipe has a notch in it to allow the rope to pass through
when the top is closed. The bow pulpit includes a bow anchor
roller (see Figure 1-17, Chapter 1), where your anchor can stow
while underway and can be used to lower and retrieve the anchor
into/from the water. While in the stowed position, a short line,
with a hook, has been provided to snug the anchor into the roller,
from the cleat.
Specifics regarding the proper techniques, equipment, and
conditions for safe anchoring, refer to "Chapmans", or a safe
boating course.
If your boat is equipped with an optional anchor windlass, the
switch to power the windlass is located next to it on the foredeck
(see Figure 3-2). The main breaker is mounted under the
companionway steps near the battery main switches. For oper-
ating instructions, refer to the windlass manufacturers owners
manual.
